pros using K18
how K18 works
Traveling into the innermost layers of hair, our K18PEPTIDE™ renews strength along the width AND length of hair for lasting strength where it matters.
got questions?
Get started here
how does the K18 PRO service work?
It’s super simple, both formulas have our biotech-powered peptide, so by using both one on top of the other, you’re doubling down on the peptide for maximum damage repair. The K18PEPTIDE™ reverses hair damage in 4 minutes by reconnecting breaks in the hair fiber along both the length (keratin chains) and the width (disulfide bonds) for wholistic hair renewal.
who is it for?
K18 is engineered to work with every hair type, in every service, and with every routine.
why do i need to mist the hair with water before applying the k18 mist?
Water will swell the cuticle layers to open up the hair fiber and allow for maximum penetration of the PRO mist + PRO mask into the innermost layers of hair. In the same way a damp sponge absorbs more water, damp hair absorbs K18PEPTIDE™.
will applying toner on top of k18 pro mask affect my client’s color?
K18 will not interfere with toner or final color. Colorists tell us K18 PRO mask delivers a more uniform, and vibrant color application, as it evens out the hair’s porosity and damage.
is K18 PRO mist + mask considered a protein?
K18 PRO mist + mask are not protein treatments, our biomimetic peptide naturally mimics the amino acid sequences in keratin to rebuild bonds broken by chemical, color, and heat damage. If your clients are experiencing dry, brittle hair, use PEPTIDE PREP™ detox shampoo pre-K18 mask to remove buildup.

Game changer!
I'm completely sold on using this product on every color and every client. I'm seeing stronger hair, less frizz, and more shine...and that's just after the first use. Clients are thrilled to continue the progress at home. I'm a new user to this product but it's won me over pretty quickly. I'm very impressed with the technology that K18 has created.

Damaged hair
I have used almost every product on the market and finally decided to give this one a try. When I say that my hair has not felt this healthy in 2 years, I mean it. I had bleached over processed hair that left my natural curly hair with little to no curl in most places. It had broke off in many places and was very dry. After using this just one time, my hair felt soft, my curl was back, and it was shiny and bouncy. I definitely wish I was a pro so I could order a bigger size. I definitely will be adding this to my regular hair routine.

Black hair to blonde in one sitting
Wow, I tried the trial packs of K18, and I used it after bleaching my hair in one sitting. I went from a level 4 to a level 9, and I used this product, and I have to be truthful and say that I was blown away. My hair did not have any issues with breakage, elasticity and it's so incredibly soft and very manageable. I am now buying this product to use in my hair routine.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!
I used this as a stand alone treatment after I had already done a color remover using Olaplex. This stuff is the bomb!!! I am about to use it for a bleach & tone service. I am a little less anxious about the health of my hair as a result, because K-18 is my secret weapon.

client recommendation
At-Home Treatment
Leave in Molecular Hair Repair Mask
2 pumps
Use for the first 4-6 washes, then every 3-4 washes for ongoing damage repair.
optimize K18
skip the conditioner
Conditioners coat hair making it harder for our K18Peptide™ to effectively penetrate strands and get into the inner layers of hair. We like to skip it so the peptide can get right to damage sites without interruption. If strands need a little more love, you can add a leave-in conditioner once the initial 4-minute wait period is over.
clarify first
Excessive product or mineral buildup on hair can prevent our K18Peptide™ from effectively penetrating strands. If hair is heavy with buildup, start with a clarifying treatment before using K18 to remove residue that may block our peptide from getting where it needs to go.
continue use
Damage is ongoing, so clients' use of K18 should be too. This progressive treatment makes hair healthier with each use. Continue their hair renewal at home by using K18 for the first 4-6 washes, then every 3-4 washes to maintain the integrity of damaged hair.
less is more
Our Pro Mask is highly concentrated, meaning a little goes a long way. Don’t oversaturate hair and refer to our dosage chart to find the optimal amount for each client’s hair type and service.
